Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Quite campsite, big flat pitches . Hot showers - I liked they deliberately did not have a roof! Nice touches include the seating area which has cover, benches and washing up area. Basic with calm.

Disliked: The thing I didn’t like was that there weren’t any bins and taking your rubbish with you was difficult on a motorcycle.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great location. Level site ideal for dogs. Clean campsite

Disliked: Expensive for no electric and no bins. Shower block needs a roof which would cost minimal amount of money.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Customer didn’t read the information on the website before coming! Clearly Ste’s please take all your rubbish , the showers are open topped and the pitches don’t have electric hookups.

Good value for money.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice flat field, grass had been cut, good views and nice walk to beach and coastpath. Peace and quiet. Such a refreshing change not to have loud music and dogs barking constantly. Basic site with clean toilets and a unique outdoor shower, with hot water. Definitely stay again. For the price paid excellent value for money.

Disliked: No soap in toilet and only cold water.

Local attractions

It’s likely that you’ll be popping to Aberystwyth (five minutes’ drive) for supplies – but don’t limit your outing to just the shops, as this coastal town also has a castle and museum to visit and the funicular Cliff Railway to ride. You can also board the Vale of Rheidol Railway here for a trip to the Devil’s Bridge waterfalls. Elsewhere along the coast it’s worth visiting Borth (10 minutes) at low tide to see the petrified forest, or heading a little further along the coast for a day in Aberaeron (half an hour), often described as one of the prettiest seaside locations in Wales. New Quay (45 minutes) should be on the cards for dolphin-spotting boat trips too. Back on land, there’s more wildlife to see at RSPB Ynys-hir nature reserve (20 minutes) or Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest (20 minutes), which has walking and bike trails as well as a red kite feeding centre where you can see the big birds up close as they swoop in for their lunch.
